Tonight, based loaded no outs, batter skies one almost straight up. PU yells "infield fly!" (didn't say "if fair", not that it matters now.) Catcher settles just outside the LH batters box, about 3-4 feet in foul ground. Ball is spinning back toward fair territory and lands untouched about a foot fair, then spins back across the line into foul territory.
Ok, does the normal fair/foul rule apply here...ball landed in fair territory short of 1st base, untouched by any of the defenders, then spins foul...foul ball? Or does the IFF call overrule that and batter is out since ball technically landed in fair territory?
Thanks guys.
